*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I enjoyed this ink. It’s well behaved and a pretty color. There are a lot of dark green inks just slightly darker or lighter, so it’s not a must-have if you already have something close, but it’s a good green ink on its own.
